About Me

It's cliche, but travel really broadens your horizons. I'm a firm believer in this, and I have chosen to go on a big adventure around Europe and hopefully the whole world.

I've taught for 5 years in Australia and I've decided to expand my experiences. I grew up in Australia and I currently live in Spain (I have Italian nationality).

I love hiking, trail running, nature and any platform to help out society. Sharing these journeys makes life even better!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet awesome people and I also want to understand what life is like as a local- rather than go to a hotel without a true understanding of where I'm at.

Also, of course it helps with the expenses. But when I get back to Australia, I'm going to get right on to Couch Surfing and help out as much as possible!

Books: George Orwell (1984), Anh Do (The Happiest Refugee), Alain de Botton (The Consolation of Philosophy + The Course of Love)

Movies: Samurai classics, anything David Attenborough, The Intouchables (such a good French flick!)
